It’s not a common occupation; few understand what working as a log home service provider entails. If you’re curious about this job, you’ve come to the right place to learn about Log Masters Restorations employee work and the benefits we offer to our team.
Log Masters Service Days
At Log Masters, the job begins with the sun as early as 7 a.m. and often ends around 6 p.m. This can vary depending on the service provided, weather, and customer needs. The ideal temperature range for log home services is between 40 and 90 degrees. This means we are most busy during the summer, so our workers often postpone family vacations until winter, when we have more vacation time available. Despite these extended hours, the Log Masters Restorations employee work-life benefits are highly valued.
Work With The Sun, Not Against It
Our log home service providers work strategically with daylight, focusing their efforts in the shade to avoid heat and ensure optimal stain and caulking applications. Weather is crucial in our daily operations, as temperature dictates what services can be performed. Depending on the service and the weather at that time of the year, they could be media blasting and replacing log rot in the winter and returning to caulk and stain in the spring. Log Masters Restorations employee work life is dynamic and changes with the seasons, bringing new challenges every day.
Bad Service Days
Some days, you might find our workers toiling from sunrise to sunset, mainly when there is a need to maximize productivity ahead of a forecasted storm or unfavorable weather conditions. However, due to the high cost of tenting or covering the entire home, you will unlikely see our employees working in the rain. While they can work on areas covered by extended porches or large overhangs during light rain, heavy rain becomes more hassle than it is worth for us and the homeowner. Log Masters Restorations employees’ work occasionally involves downtime due to weather, which employees often spend relaxing at their hotels.
Work Schedule
While our team doesn’t adhere strictly to a 9-5 schedule, these hours are often ideal as they minimize disruption to homeowners’ daily routines. We strive to avoid being a nuisance while restoring your cabin and ask that gatherings be planned around our work hours whenever possible. However, if gatherings are unavoidable, our team remains committed to maintaining a clean and safe work environment while doing their job. This part of the Log Masters Restorations employee work highlights our dedication to customer satisfaction and flexible work scheduling.
Benefits of Log Master Employment
Aside from company-provided paid sick and personal leave, we also provide days off on major holidays, which employees most appreciate around Thanksgiving and Christmas. Our customers enjoy this, as it doesn’t interfere with their celebratory plans. Professional and personal time balance is crucial to Log Masters Restorations employee work.
LMR Employee Benefits
Our employees are seasoned travelers. Their job requires them to be on-site where the cabins are located, often necessitating stays in company-paid hotels. This travel arrangement comes with the benefit of tax-free per diems, but it also means time away from family, which can be stressful. Despite these challenges, our employees appreciate the comprehensive benefits package that includes tax-free general per diem, paid sick and personal leave, AFLAC health supplement insurance, dental and vision PPO, and options for life insurance, cancer insurance, hospital and critical illness coverage, and short-term disability. The travel demands and benefits package are integral to Log Masters Restorations employee work.
Value of Home Life and Work Life
At Log Masters, we understand the importance of balancing professional commitments with personal well-being. Having worked for over 10+ years in this industry, traveling all over the Midwest, we know the strain it puts on your home life. We strive to provide our employees with a rewarding career and the support they need to maintain a healthy work-life balance. Indeed, Log Masters Restorations’ employee work-life aims for a comprehensive balance between work responsibilities and personal care.
